Diarthrosis freely movable joints; also known as synovial joints
Gomphosis attachment of a tooth to its socket
syncondrosis a type of joint with hyaline cartilage between bones

Syndesmosis bones connected by ligaments
symphysis A type of joint that has grown together forming a very stable connection.
synovial joints created where two bones articulate to permit a variety of motions
joint capsule The fibrous sac that encloses a joint.

synovial membrane lines the capsule and secretes synovial fluid
joint-lubricating fluid secreted by the synovial membrane
synovial fluid
Functions: Lubrication, distribution of nutrients, shock absorption.
Fibrocartilage pad located between articular surfaces; acts as a shock absorber, and
Meniscus
stabilizes the joint
fat pads localized masses of adipose tissue covered by a layer of synovial membrane
flattened fibrous sacs lined w/synovial membrane, contains synovial fluid; common
